How would they know it's fluff if they clearly don't even know what it is?


Let's ask the multi variable calculus class, or Partial differential equations class how many know Arabic numbers. Lets see how many of them know what it is.

They're doing actual math. Not numerical history or anything to that effect. Meaning the class is about the subject header.

btw, how many people know who created the squeeze theorem or the history surrounding the fundamental theorems of calculus both 1 and 2? Even those who took the classes that actually use them? Most of the time, they know how to use those theorems and don't care about the other stuff.

the point is they know what numbers are. That's enough to do math.

Being stupid is barely better than being racist. They're both bad.


What defines stupid? You do konw only seconds was wasted during this poll? And for all we know, they actually did ask "what are arabic numbers?"

If you not once heard the term Arabic numbers, you need to call a bunch of your math teachers and tell them that.


I knew someone was going to pull this card. And why? My math professors did their job. Just because YOU learned about numerical history in math class doesn't mean everyone else got a poor mathematical education.

Why wouldn't their first question be "What are arabic numerals?"

Who the f*** hasn't seen people who ask trick questions? Everyone has heard the term arabic numerals in math class even if they don't remember it.

Anyone willing to answer stupid f***ing questions doesn't deserve to be protected.


Don't jump to conclusions. Maybe they did ask and the answer was "the number system invented in the Arab peninsula." So what else is the natural answer going to be? "no."

Also my knowledge of Arabic numbers being used in the western system is extra curricular. And guess what? I can actually read Arabic. The reason why I didn't know the numbers as we see it in the west were called "arabic numbers" were because teh Arabs literally don't have the same symbols. For example, the "five" doesn't look like a "5" but rather an "o."

Don't be so shut in your own world. People do stupid things all the time. They answered a question and you think its stupid, but in reality its minor. Someone came up to them, they answered it, life moved on. Only seconds were wasted.

I don't think so to all the above. If I am to any, probably just marginally.
